I would suggest it is you that are insulting "everyone's intellegence" by assuming they can not understand that when the term weapon is used in a thread about mass shooting, that term is used to describe a handgun/rifle.

Well if the current approach isnt working then what is wrong with it? You seem to think its broken so if thats the case how would you go about fixing it?

What is wrong with it? You saying that being able to walk into a store and purchase a semi-automatic rifle without a detailed background check is good? Once that rifle leaves the store the owner can sell it privately and there is no requirement to report the sale or keep records.

By shift in core values you mean subjugating the 2A?

YES

If you can explain to me why a private citizen needs to give information and control about a piece of property he owns to the gov't then I'll perhaps consider it to be a problem. Regardless, they do not have any idea where the 300+ firearms are so what difference does it make?

I am guessing you don't register your motor vehicles?
"they" don't have any idea where the 300 + firearms (your number) because the gun control in the states is broken.

You're welcome, resort to condescending remarks all you want, only proves you have no clue what you are talking about. But by all means, still insist your position that the big bad NRA would still give firearms away if they could.

I never insisted that the NRA would give firearms away.....nice try...

Americans poorly perceived gun culture has nothing to do with the gun itself and everything to do with the individual. Blaming a mass of people and punishing them for the crimes of a individual does not mean others forfeit their rights.

I agree it is not the guns' fault. However, if there was only some way to keep guns out of people's hands......if only....
BTW, I am a fan of shooting. I enjoy it and I would suggest I have probably put more rounds down range via more firearms than a large number of society. I want gun contol because I have seen first that damage a bullet does to the human body.
